Sam & Elliot
“My husband and I attended Brigid’s Birth Empowerment workshop during the 3rd trimester of our second baby. I highly recommend this course to both first time parents and those approaching their second, or even third arrival!
I really wanted to delve into hypnobirthing with my second baby and Brigid provided both Tom and I all the necessary tools, advice, information and guidance to begin our preparations and practice for the birth. Having had intervention with my first baby, I was determined to have a home birth and experience it in a different way.
When the home births were suspended due to the pandemic, we had to change plans – two weeks ahead of my due date - and prepare for the hospital (which made me slightly anxious). However, having regularly attended Brigid’s pregnancy yoga classes, prior to this course, and feeling empowered from our workshop I was able to stay calm and focused throughout the whole experience.
Once in the delivery suite, my established labour took just 1h10minutes and I fully experienced my warrior goodness moment: breathing, roaring, mooing and using all the visualizations to bear down and birth our baby boy!
Elliot was born Wednesday 13th January 2021 (my actual due date!) and it was truly an amazing experience for both myself and my husband Tom.
Brigid holds a wealth of knowledge and experience that really empowers women throughout their journey during pregnancy, birth, postpartum and beyond. I absolutely realised the benefits of attending both the yoga classes and the Birth Empowerment workshop. In addition to both the practical tools and spiritual strength I gained from them I also gained an even greater affinity with the Unity Yoga community which has made the whole experience even more special.”
